[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Sure, a kid coming out of MCPS can have all of those things, but there’s no getting around the fact that each of those items on the OP’s list is addressed and directly attempted to be instilled in each student on a near-daily basis in many private schools in this area. That’s in addition to whatever parents are doing to help their children with those items too. It’s certainly a difference. [/quote] And in MCPS schools too! Yay for all schools where students learn good values, how to listen/speak/discuss, find their passions, try out different sports or clubs, develop close relationships to teacher mentors, and develop a growth mindset and love of learning![/quote] +1 I'm an MCPS basher. I think their academic curriculum stinks. However, even I think they offer the types of intangibles described above.[/quote] I used to defend MCPS, not for academics, but for schools spirit, not putting the pressure I had in school, thinking my kids are better off without so much pressure, that sports are good. I take it all back. MCPS academic curriculum is pathetic. And for working ethic, do you think I should e-mail the principal to tell him that my DD's AP teacher was on his effing phone while slides were just rolling during the class? Day in and day out, not teaching at all?[/quote]
